Styx? Journey? It's ALL Good

Diva, The Packers have won 12 NFL Championships, 3 of which were Super Bowls ...Read it again, the statement was not just for the period 1967 to the present, it was in NFL History.

But since you've always seen and understood only those things you want to, I'm not surprised at your interpretation.....

Just as the Boston Celtics are the greatest franchise in NBA history, and the New York Yankees are the Greatest Franchise in Major League Baseball history as measured by world championships, The Packers own that distinction in the NFL.

Again, it is fact, and not disputable. You should go visit the Packer Hall of Fame, you might learn a lot about the history of the NFL.......But I know, how EXPENSIVE it is to travel......still if you can find a way to get the funds take it ! A resourceful guy like you can find a way.

Ok dude.

So when the Packers were winning "NFL Championships" with the other 5 teams in the league, I suppose you are counting those as championships..gotcha.

The Yankees, absolutely.

The Celtics? Oh ok. See above for GB.

Homer....go out and drive your snowmobile into a tree...I hope you break your dick off in the ice.

[classicstyxfan]

Oh, I get it ! and in the world according to Deano, all wars prior to Vietnam didn't matter to this country either , did they ?

And by the way, the NFL counts them......they have an infinate amount credibility on little old you.

ok, I'll let you skate off the hook again. You know why? Because you guys won't be competitive for at least 10 more years. Have you watched your team play this year? My God, why Favre would want to come back to this shit organization is beyond me.

[classicstyxfan]

Yeah, what a shit organization...14 consecutive winning seasons in a row.....and yes, Favre was a large part of it, but it took a shit organization to pluck him out of 3rd string in Atlanta, and make him a star.

31 other NFL teams cant say that. Yep, it's a bad year....injuries to key players can do that. meet me here same time next year, and we shall see who is right.

so to summarize here, 12 NFL chanmpionships, 14 consecutive winning seasons and one bad year.....yep, thats my team. I bet you jump on the bandwagon of whoever is winning in any given year, don't you Dangerfield ?

[NealIsGod]

The Packers sucked from 1968 until 1993, only making the playoffs once in the 70's and once in the 80's. They were the laughingstock of the NFL. When they played Tampa Bay, the game was called "The Bay of Pigs". They did not get good until Reggie White and Brett Favre came there. Reggie is gone (may he rest in peace - great player and man), and Favre is ready to either retire or play for his hometown team, the Saints, to help them sell tickets next year. GB is in for some rebuilding years and if you don't admit that, you are just plain delusional.

[Red13JoePa]

those '89 Don Majkowski Packers were pretty good. Wonder what woulda happened if Majik man hadn't pulled the Wally Pipp in '92 opening the door for Favre. Just a thought.

Remember 4th-And-26, God bless the PAC 10 and Freddy Mitchell, Rock

Poor Bugsy and her thread!!!

Sorry Bugsy, but this one I have to get into, the guys don't know how to start a thread - LOL

I'm not even going to say please on this one, Don't EVER talk about Don Majkowski!! Just a warning. I really don't think you want to see the worse side of me! I can't stand him!!

Remember 4th-And-26, God bless the PAC 10 and Freddy Mitchell, Rock

Um, I don't recall that!

I remember that!! LOL I was at 2 of those Tampa games down in Florida, what a fun time each year. Didn't matter if they won or lost - LOL

OMG, those were the best years!! Two words: CHUCK CECIL, only the hottest guy in the NFL ever!!!!!

[Red13JoePa]

Keith Woodside....takes the handoff from Blair Kiel.....Mandarich misses the block!!!!!!!
Fumble....

No, we just don't give a crap about bad teams.....

I really respect the commitment you all have up there, but you are all so myopic...

[classicstyxfan]

Hey Dogsi,

Congrats, unlike Rock-N-Dangerfield, you are well versed in Packer history.....I am impressed. And ya know what ? I was a Packers fan then too ! John Brockington and Mac Arthur Lane were a great backs tandem in 72, leading us to a 10-4 record that year...Brock was the 1st RB ever to put up 1,000 yards in each of his 1st 3 seasons.

I lived thru the John Hadl trade ( as bad as the Herschel Walker trade only 10 years earlier ) The Years with Lynn Dickey and James Lofton were fun,, lots of Offense but no D. And other QB greats like David Whitehurst and Randy Wright running the show..

So you see, I am a true Packers fan, not a johnny come lately. And I am proud that I stuck with them during the lean years. The Payoff has been tremendous !

[classicstyxfan]

OMG ! Blair Kiel ! Keith Woodside Tony Mandarich...

MAKE IT STOP !!!

[Rockindeano]

Hey Dogsi,

Congrats, unlike Rock-N-Dangerfield, you are well versed in Packer history....

I am not one to blow my own horn, but I have no doubt I know more about sports than any sumbitch in here...not just packer FB..

I used to live a block from Bart Starr.

[yogi]

Bet Me who knows more sports??

Name the last player who threw lefthanded but batted right handed to hit a home run in a World Series game???????


How many hits can you get in an inning without scoring a run????

First Heisman Trophy winner was???????


Back in the Late 1970's Sports Illustrated cover story about Bostons Favorite Park - and it aint Fenway what was it?????

Who was Robin The Batman????

Name The Purple People Eaters????

Fatty Fatty Fourty Four Cant Get Through The Line No More who was that??


I can go on and on and on.....................................

[SuiteMadameBlue]

Yogi, are you going to post the answers, or do I have to Google these?? LOL

Yogi wins!!!

[yogi]

I will post them. First I want our sports authority to have a chance to answer them ( or a couple at least).


I have MANY MANY more.

P.S. How does living 1 block from Bart Starr make you a sports authority??? Many Packer fans will tell you that even though he was a GREAT GREAT quarterback, week after week as a coach he proved that he knew nothing about football.

Uh, bro, let me clue you in on something. NO ONE in the USA and Canada cares about that soccer crap.. It's not even a sport.

When referees keep time "in their head" no way..

Have fun watching your 0-0 ties and all the urine bombs and riots..

[bugsymalone]

Poor Bugsy and her thread!!!

It got fumbled away back there on the 20 somewhere.

Oh well....Yogi has started a Styx related thread, uh, assembly line, that one hopes will not degenerate into another endless football team argument!

That was cute!!! You're a good sport Bugsy

I love talking about football and sports, even though I'm scatterbrained - LOL It just needs to go in an off-topic thread and then we can go crazy about it - LOL!!!

In my excitement of urinebombs, I forgot to ask you how come soccer,is not a sport.

Ooops Rock

It is a sport Gr8dane, just a shitty one.

Look, the reason it is the most popular sport in the world is this.

It's the cheapest. Third world states only need a coconut and 2 trees for a goal...seriously.

Even with a ball and a cheap goal, you only need a field. Baseball costs money.gloves, ballS, and batS. football is too tough for them to play. and so is hockey, plus, kind of hard to find frozen lakes of ice in Argentina, but who cares, they have the hottest chicks in the world.

Now soccer could be decent, IF...

They actually had a scoreboard that kept time. Can you imagine, a referee with 5k on Columbia in the World cup, and Columbia is down 1-0 to Chile, and there is really only :28 seconds left to play, yet NO ONE knows except him...He says to self, why not add a couple minutes so i might get lucky, and Columbia might tie it up...

Also, I just love when these Euros get "hurt." They flail around on the ground, falling like they were shot, and as soon as the yellow card comes out, they are running down the field, smiling and showing off their brown teeth.

The offsides line. Unlike hockey, where the blue line(offsides line), is stationary, soccers moves along with the last defenceman. Just retarded. You can watch a 1-0 NHL game, and it can be really exciting..Maybe 30-27 in shots on goal, incredible saves, awesome hits, and solid fights..skating and puck handling is very skillful. Soccer has a 1-0 game and the total shots on goal might be 3 to 2....no fights, no rushes..just lobbying passes between midfielders...


Sorry Gr8tdane, that's the truth.

I am glad the US and Canada suck in soccer...

---Well,guess it depends what you grew up with.Your football to me is a rather tame sport.15 seconds of play,people walking on and off the field.Guys with a rope measuring this and that,coaches with phonebooks full of strategies and time is drifting by before something actually starts happening again.Guess it leaves lots of room for bathroom breaks.

Look, the reason it is the most popular sport in the world is this.

It's the cheapest. Third world states only need a coconut and 2 trees for a goal...seriously.

--What's wrong with that??Anybody can play anywhere, anytime.Equal oppertunity.

--If a ref wants to help his team,I am sure there are other ways than offering your favorites a minute and a half of extra play.Big deal.

Also, I just love when these Euros get "hurt." They flail around on the ground, falling like they were shot, and as soon as the yellow card comes out, they are running down the field, smiling and showing off their brown teeth.

--The Italians invented this and mastered this to perfection yes(ohh and the primadonnas).
This could happen happen in other sports too.These days it's fun to watch somebody trying to fake something and they themselves actually getting a yellow card.

The offsides line. Unlike hockey, where the blue line(offsides line), is stationary, soccers moves along with the last defenceman. Just retarded.

--Again just different.Don't forget the soccer pitch is a little bit bigger than a rink.
Anyways,if football is so tough,how come they wear all this padding and sit down for half the game.Hockey players even play less and play on a smaller surface with skates to help them get around.In soccer you actually run for 1 1/2 hour ,with only 3 substitutions,and no protection but shinpads.
If you want tough,how about some rugby??



Sorry Gr8tdane, that's the truth.

--It's the truth for North Americans.And not the truth for the rest of the world.
How come football is called football,when the foot is rarely used

--Brown teeth

I am glad the US and Canada suck in soccer...

Hey Deano,

Here are your trivia answers you sports guru.

1. Last player that threw left handed and batted right to hit a World Series homerun??????

Vida Blue( a damn pitcher ). He had his throwing arm facing the opposing pitcher. As good as he was on the hill, and with no DH back then he was damn lucky he didnt get drilled very often. I bet he didnt throw at to many people back then!

2 How many hits can you get in an inning withoutscoring a run????


Six-- How??? three singles starts the inning. You have the bases loaded, no outs.Then the baserunner on third base gets picked off, then the baserunner at second gets picked off. Now you have a runner on first base and two outs. Now you get two more singles to reload the bases. Thats five hits with no runs( sounds like the 2005 Twins). Where does the sixth hit come from???? The batter hits a shot and it hits the base runner going to second base. The batter gets credit for a hit BUT the run does not count. Thats six hits in an inning without scoring a run.

3. First Heisman Trophy Winner????

Jay Burwanger(sp)

4. Bostons Favorite Park????

Brad Park - hockey defenseman. He came to Boston in a blockbuster trade with the New York Rangers. The Rangers got Phil Esposito in return.

5. Robin The Batman???

Robin Ventura who broke Ty Cobbs hit record while playing college baseball at Oklahoma State. Robin later became more famous for getting his light punched out by 43 year old Nolan Ryan. The first punch Nolan landed you saw the famous Batman (POW) the second punch Nolan threw you saw ( BAM).

6. Purple People Eaters????

Minnesota Vikings and their famous 4-3 defense. Carl Eller, Alan Page, Gary Larson, and Jim Marshall.

Your bonus: of the above 4 which one became the first black Attorney General, which one became homeless, living on the street, and a drunk???

7. Fatty Fatty 44 cant get through the line no more????


Chuck Foreman who ate his way out of the NFL



All this and I didnt live anywhere near Bart Starr!!!!!!!

[yogi]

The answer to the first black Attorney General???

Alan Page

The answer to the homeless drunk????

Carl Eller - although now he has cleaned up his act


Playing trivia I came across these questions and they get tougher:

1. Top MLB homerun hitter ever??? Hank Aaron
2. Most MLB hits??? Pete Rose
3. Last hitter to hit .400 Ted Williams
4. Most consecutive games played??? Cal Ripken
Here is where they got tough

5. Only player to make 3 errors in a World series in the same inning???

A hint Charlie Finley tried to release him after the game. That means he played for Oakland.

The answer: Mike Andrews

6. Who holds the record for being hit by the most balls?????
Craig Biggio he just broke Don Baylors record this year

7. Who holds the record for being hit in the face by the most balls??

[NealIsGod]

7. Who holds the record for being hit in the face by the most balls??

That's so funny that you mentioned that!! I just saw Judas Priest a few months ago and I just couldn't watch the concert, I kept thinking about that - EWWWWWWW. It was so different, TO ME, from years ago going to the Judas Priest concerts. I guess whatever makes him happy. Well, to each his own I guess.
